By Saman Shad
Thirty minute drama featuring Ayesha Dharker ('Coronation Street) as Shabnam.
When Shabnam leaves her family in Pakistan to join her husband Anwar in London, the young married couple soon feel the effects of the cultural divide between them. Shabnam can't find a place for herself in Anwar's bachelor pad, or his career ambitions; Anwar can't understand the actions of the woman he's married.
